dvdsetsonline.com / 2010-02-02

Recently killed-off Heroes cast member Dawn Olivieri has found new life — as a

werewolf on True Blood.

Olivieri will play Janice Herveaux, the sister of werewolf Alcide (Joe Manganiello), the

actress' rep confirms to TVGuide.com.

Herveaux is described as a tough-as-nails biker chick who's somewhat protective of

her younger brother. She is also into horoscopes and psychics.

Olivieri will first appear in Season 3's fourth episode, "9 Crimes." She also auditioned
for the role of Debbie Pelt, Alcide's ex-girlfriend. Casting for that role has yet to be

announced.

Olivieri just wrapped up a recurring role on Heroes' fourth season as Lydia, a tattooed
empath and member of evil carnival leader Samuel's "family." Her previous credits
include My Boys, Entourage, How I Met Your Mother and Cold Case.
